Baby Shower Flower Wall in Cloud Pastels

If you're planning a baby shower and you want that one moment where everyone walks in and just gasps — a baby shower flower wall in soft cloud pastels is it. I'm talking blush, lavender, mint, creamy white, the palest peach. Colors that feel like a lullaby. Colors that make the mama-to-be tear up a little before she even sits down.

I've been making giant flowers for years now, and baby showers are honestly one of my favorite events to design for. There's so much heart in them. And the backdrop? It does all the heavy lifting. It sets the whole mood, frames every photo, and — here's the part I love most — it goes home with someone after. It doesn't get tossed in a dumpster at the end of the night. It becomes wall art in the nursery.

So if you're the one planning this shower, let me walk you through everything. From picking your sizes to choosing your pastel palette to making sure the whole thing looks like it came out of a dreamy Pinterest board — but was actually doable on a real budget.

This is the question I get asked most. "How big should my flowers be?" And my answer is always: mix them. A wall with all the same size flowers looks flat. A wall with varied sizes looks lush and intentional.

Our Wall Flower Kits come in 18", 24", and 30" sizes, and they're designed to work together. Here's how I think about sizing it out:

For a standard 6-foot dessert table backdrop, I usually recommend starting with about 8-10 flowers total in a mix of all three sizes. For a full 8-foot wall section, bump that up to 14-18 flowers.

Start with your 30" statement flowers first. Place them in a loose diagonal or triangle pattern across the wall — never in a straight line. Then fill in with your 24" flowers. Finally, tuck the 18" flowers into the gaps. Step back. Adjust. It's like arranging a bouquet, just on a bigger scale.

I want to be really honest with you here: these kits are designed for people who've never made a giant flower before. You don't need a craft room. You don't need special tools. You need a table, some time, and a little patience.

Each Wall Flower Kit includes pre-cut EVA foam petals, a center piece, and assembly instructions. The foam is already shaped — you just need to layer and glue. If you want to customize your colors or paint your petals, our EVA foam sheets are also available separately.

This is the part that makes giant foam flowers genuinely different from fresh florals or paper flowers. They last. Like, really last. EVA foam doesn't wilt. It doesn't fade. It doesn't fall apart three days after the event.

After the shower, those flowers can come right down and go right back up — this time in the nursery. A cluster of 3-5 flowers in blush, lavender, and ivory above the crib? That's a nursery feature wall that would cost hundreds at a boutique baby store. And the new mama made it herself (or her shower planner did, which is even sweeter).

If you want to explore more about how EVA foam holds up over time and why it's the material of choice for lasting event decor, our guide on every type of foam for giant flowers breaks it all down.

It depends on the size of the space you're covering. For a 4-6 foot dessert table backdrop, 8-12 flowers in mixed sizes (18", 24", 30") is a great starting point. For a larger 8-foot feature wall, I'd plan for 15-20 flowers. The key is mixing sizes so you get that full, lush look without needing to cover every single inch of wall.

When in doubt, start with more than you think you need. Leftover flowers are never a problem — they become nursery art.

Absolutely, yes. Our EVA foam takes acrylic paint beautifully. You can mix your own custom shades to match your invitations, balloons, or any specific color you're working with. I'd recommend doing a small test petal first to make sure you love the finish before painting your whole batch. Check out our post on foam board paint finishes for technique tips.

Command strips are your best friend here — specifically the larger picture-hanging strips. Each flower has a flat back that adheres really well. For heavier 30" flowers, I recommend using two strips per flower. Always test on a small area first, especially if you're working with textured walls or wallpaper.

If you're at a venue and need a freestanding option, check out our freestanding flower kits — they're designed for exactly that situation and don't require any wall mounting at all.

How far in advance should I order my kits?

I always say at least 2-3 weeks before your shower date. This gives you time to receive your order, assemble everything at a relaxed pace, and do a test layout before the big day. Rushing a flower wall the night before a shower is not the vibe we're going for.

Are these kits beginner-friendly? I've never made giant flowers before.

100% yes. I designed these kits with first-timers in mind. The petals are pre-cut, the instructions are clear, and the EVA foam is forgiving — if a petal doesn't look right, you can reheat it and reshape it. Most people are genuinely surprised by how quickly they get the hang of it. Your first flower might take 45 minutes. By your fifth, you'll be doing it in 20.
